Alvi won 17,489 votes, which was far ahead of his opponent Naimatullah Khan of Jamaat-i-Islami, who managed to capture only 446 votes, according to unofficial results.
PTI candidates for provincial assembly seats PS112 and PS113 were also victorious after re-polling.
The MQM, PPP and a minor religious party had already declared that they had boycotted the re-polling process.
The NA-250 seat has been one of much contention and controversy in Karachi, with allegations of vote-rigging and other irregularities reported on election day.
Earlier on reports suggested that voter turnout had been low for the re-polling process.
Re-polling also comes a day after senior vice-president of PTI Sindh chapter, Zahra Shahid Hussain, was killed outside her DHA Phase IV residence.
